The Catholic Grief Podcast
If you are grieving, you do not have to walk this road alone. The Catholic Grief Podcast is a faith-filled companion for Catholics navigating loss of any kind — the death of a spouse, a child, a parent, or the quiet grief of a life that no longer looks the way you expected. Here, we bring our sorrow honestly to the Cross, trusting that Christ meets us in the midst of our pain. As a Catholic woman, I speak to you not only as someone who is rooted in the Church, but also as someone who has walked through profound loss in more than one season of life. I know the questions. I know the silence. I know the long road of rebuilding. This is not a space for quick fixes or easy answers. It is a place for real grief, faithful teaching, and steady hope grounded in Christ and His Church. Through Scripture, Catholic wisdom, and practical encouragement, we learn how to carry sorrow with Jesus and discover that suffering is never wasted in Him. You are welcome here.

December 7th, 2014 is a date that divided my life into a clear before and after. In this deeply personal episode of The Catholic Grief Podcast, I share the story of losing my son Maximilian Isaac — a late-term pregnancy loss at 19 weeks and 3 days — and how that grief shaped my faith, my marriage, and ultimately my calling to walk with others through loss.
I talk openly about the moments most people don't share:...
One of the hardest parts of grief isn’t just the loss…
It’s the silence.
The moments where you pray…
but it feels quiet.
Where you reach for God…
and don’t feel anything in return.
In this episode, we talk about what it means when God feels distant in grief.
Not from a place of perfect answers…
but from lived experience.
You’ll hear:
- Why grief can change how we experience God
- The difference betwe...
After loss… have you ever felt like you don’t recognize yourself anymore?
Grief doesn’t just change your life.
It changes how you see who you are.
In this episode of The Catholic Grief Podcast, we explore identity after loss… the tension between who you were and who you are now becoming.
Together, we talk about:
• Losing roles and sense of self
• The weight of identity shifts in grief
• Why you are ...
Grief doesn’t just feel like sadness.
Sometimes it feels like nothing.
Sometimes it feels like everything… all at once.
In this episode of The Catholic Grief Podcast, we explore what grief actually feels like… and why your emotions may not look the way you expected.
Together, we talk about:
• Numbness and emotional disconnection
• Overwhelm and shifting emotions
• Anger, guilt, and the “what ifs”
When did your grief begin?
Not just the event…
but the moment everything changed.
In this episode of The Catholic Grief Podcast, we explore the true beginning of grief. The quiet, often unspoken moment where something shifts inside of you… and life no longer feels the same.
Through personal reflection and faith, we talk about:
• The “moment of shift” in grief
• Shock, confusion, and emotional disorientat...
Have you ever looked at your life and realized it looks nothing like you thought it would?
In this first episode of The Catholic Grief Podcast, I share my personal story of grief… from becoming a teenage mother, to pregnancy loss, to losing my husband to COVID and becoming a widow with ten children.
This is where my journey begins.
And it is why this podcast exists.
Through every season of loss, I have come to see...
What do you do when your world falls apart… and God feels silent?
At 3:25am, in the middle of a storm and a heartbreak I could not stop, I whispered the only prayer I had left…
God, where are You?
